The Nations Fair.

The interior of the rink on Thurs
day and Friday nights Of last weel
presented an attactive scene that de
lighted the many persons who visited
the place. 1t was an assembly of all
nations. aud reflects great credit on
ladies and gentlemen who made the
arrangements. As visitors entered the
building they could not help but feel
pleased at the great transformation
that had taken place, as if some ma
gician had been at work with his mag
ical powers, assisted by a force OF
genie. Inside the building were erect
ed many gorgeous booths, and one
made of national banners of this
country, was especially beautiful.
The attendants were dressed to resem-
BILE people of nearly every country,
and, as a consequence, bright colored
dresses, and gorgeous raiment were
numerous. On the left of the enter
ance was building made of slabs,
and bore great resemblance to log
shanty. In it were spread tables and
refreshments served to those who de-
sired such, and they were numerous.
A delicious odor of coffee hung about
the log dwelling and the inside was
full of cheer and comfort for the hun
cry. At one side of the rink was
a representation Of an Irish hut, with
real pig. The building was empty
at the time of our visit, so we suppose
the tenant had been evicted by the
bailiff. A little further on was a
gypsy tent, inside of which was for
tune teller ready for a small cash con-
sideration to unfold the dark and mys-
terious future. In other booths were
displayed large number of elegant
and useful articles made by the magic
fingers of many fair ones, and the
purchaser was politely waited upon
by ladies and gents in elaborate and
costly costumes. A cruise about the
booths with their attractive attendants
was full of danger, and the traveller
was likely to lose his cargo of shekels
in exchange for articles that were just
the thing for Christmas presents.
1t was pretty scene-the gorgeous
booths, the many differently dressed
nationalities, the groups Of citizens,
and the crowds of pleased children
all combined to make picture long
to be remembered.

One of the boilers in the pulp factory
has been undergoing repairs for some
days past. The damage was caused
by the acid leaking through the inside
lining and eating hole in the boiler.
The work of removing the inside
lining of bricks and cement, in the
vicinity of the leak, was very diff
cult, and several hours work by three
men were needed to remove a small
portion. A cold chisel and sledge
were used and the brick lining broken
off by pieces. The removal of a part
of the lining was necessary so that
the mechanics could get at the iron
plate so as to cover up the part eaten
through, As the two new boilers, re-
Gently put in were not in readiness,
there was only one boiler that could
be used, consequently, the factory has
been in operation but part time.

The railroad to this city, after leav-
ing Roe lake, makes a considerable
curve to reach Black River, and on
that part there are some heavy grades.
In order to get rid of the curve and
avoid the heavy grades, the railroad
company caused surveys to be made
to see if better and straighter route
could be found. The survey was fin
ished a few days ago, and new route
laid out from Roe lake to Ossineke
that is said to be free from heavy
grades, and it is probable that work
will he commenced on the new route
next spring. 1t will shorten the dis
lance to Detroit by several miles, and
Black River will be a considerable
distance from the main track.

Knights of Pythias Reception.

The members of Fremont Lodge,
No. "a, Knights of Pythias, have good
reason to feel gratifed at the success
that attended the reception given by
them to invited citizens, at their new
hall in the Denton block, last Thurs
day night. 1t was also the formal
opening of their new, commodieus and
handsome society rooms.
Guests began to arrive early and
were cordially received by the Knights
who were in full dress uniform of the
order, and during the entire reception
the Knights were indefatigable in
their endeavors to see that their guests
enjoyed themselves.
About nine o'clock the Knights and
most of their guests formed in column
of couples on the floor. The band
struck up march, and the festivities
began. At this time there must have
been at least 100 persons present, and
a considerable number arrived after
wards. The grand march made an
interesting scene to the observer, and
the various evolutions were done in q
creditable manner. The view, as they
marched and counter-marched, was
exceedingly attractive-the gay dress
es of the ladies and handsome uni
forms of the Knights giving the scene
rich coloring, while the plain dress
of the men heightened the effect by
their contrast.
At the conclusion of the march, the
ladies and their escorts were formed
in lines-each couple facing but few
feet apart. The orchestra struck up
waltz and away went scores of dane
ers gliding about the floor. Then fol-
lowed quadrilles. polkas, Lanciers,
etc., until about midnight when the
order was issued to clear the floor.
The Knights went vigorously at work
and in a few minutes time, tables
we're brought into the hall, and bounti-
full supper set thereon. The guests,
numbering at least $50, were invited
to partake of the viands prepared for
them, and of course there was no de-
clining. After the contents of the
tables had been thoroughly discussed
and enjoyed, the floor was again clear
ed, and dancing resumed and kept up
until four o'clock in the morning.
The program contained Is numbers.
On the floor from nine to twelve sets
we're formed at one time.
While the floor was occupied by
dancers, those who could not find a
place vacant in the sets, or were de-
sirous of little rest, would adjourn
to the handsome parlors and enjoy
themselves there in various ways,
many forming card parties. The
guests from outside consisted of j.
Millen, F. p. Mccormick and Mr..
and Mrs. L. r. Fisk of Black River,
T. Z. Handy, of Tawas, and Mr.. and
Mrs. r. l.. Lott, of Harrisville, G.
Hill of Oscoda, and DR.. Darling.
Only % minutes were taken to set
the table, eat supper and again clear
the floor for the dancers, so admira-
BILE were the arrangements.
